Creative director Jonathan Dumont has shed light on the anticipated playtime for Assassin's Creed Shadows, revealing in an interview with journalist Genki that completing the core narrative will take approximately 30 to 40 hours. For those eager to delve into every nook and cranny of the game's optional content, an additional 30 to 40 hours can be expected, culminating in a total playtime of around 80 hours.

Dumont initially compared Shadows to earlier entries like Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla, but these games' varying lengths made such comparisons less meaningful. Recognizing the challenge of measuring open-world game durations, Dumont clarified that Shadows aligns more closely with the scope of Origins. According to How Long To Beat, Origins requires about 30 hours for the main campaign and up to 80 hours for a complete experience.
For fans worried about excessively long gameplay, Shadows seems to offer a more balanced approach. Valhalla, for instance, has faced criticism for its 60-hour main story and a total potential of 150 hours including all content. If Dumont's estimates hold true, Shadows promises a more manageable yet fulfilling experience.
Mark your calendars—Assassin's Creed Shadows is set to launch on March 20th for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
